Look in windows start menu. It's called "alarms and clock".

Do you mean like an alarm clock? I like Free Alarm Clock >https://freealarmapp.com/ It's free. I've used it for years.
It has lots of features.
The only issue is that if you leave it on top when the system goes to
sleep, and in the middle of the night, you wake the system by using the
space bar, the second time you tap the space bar, it turns off the
alarm, but since I'm half-asleep I go back to sleep without knowing
that.
So far, I've awekened in time every time, and then I learned not to l
leave the program on top and not to wake with the space bar.

Windows has a utility which has alarms, timers and stopwatch. It works
well.
It
also has snooze and will turno the monitor, both optiona.

I'm working on creating a new version of English, with final consonants missing almost all the time. It will be called Englench .

This is a WIndows 10 newsgroup. I don't see it in W10. ;)

In the area I live in, 300,000 people receive a B12 shot every month.
Just, ridiculous. The news article about it was asking whether this was "reasonable" or not.
You know at least a few of them (like me), could be on the pills
instead. But the doctors just don't have the time to be pissing around
with this stuff. The topic is handled poorly.

I have heard that for B12, a daily pill is better than a monthly shot.

That advice is only to take the load off the medical system.
Pills are likely to cost more, to you, than a vial every 10 months.
It depends on who pays for the administration of the shot, whether
the injection method is cheaper. The chemical costs $1. The nurse
costs $25.
The vial itself (you buy the vial, clinic does not provide),
is likely cheaper than the pills. And, the shot is just as
effective. The reason for this, is your liver stores B12,
and the tau is 30 days.

"tau"?? WTF is 'tau'??
That gave me a reason to ring and speak to my youngest sister ... who
is a Nurse. She's away for the week-end, at the sea-side with a
long-time girl friend, so I didn't want to keep her long .... so she
switched into multi-purpose mode and Googled 'tau' and came up with
'tau' being a letter in the Greek Alphabet (which I knew) and then
she mumbled something about it meaning 'half-life' .... so, o.k.,
you, Paul, are suggesting that your B12 level depletes 50% each 30
days or so.
I can live with that.
Apparently it's 7.3C *at Torquay, the sea-side, now* ... so not
really Beach weather!!

It's pretty chilly here right now, but this will change in a
couple days. We had some forest fire smoke here a bit more than
a week ago, as it was moving right across the country. That may have
shifted the temperature a couple degrees. I could smell it, just
a tiny bit, in the room here. The air is clear today. It's going
to be a long fire season.

I'm guessing it's an abbreviation, with the T standing for time.
(Absorption something?)
I dislike it when people give no indication that something is an
abbreviation - they used to put dots in, but I've accepted the move to
just capitalising - but I guess I have to accept the new change.--

Irrational number, and also transcendental.
I remember the school getting new arithmetic books when I was in 4th
grade. What had been previously called "fractions" were now "rational numbers". The most useful new idea was the number line.

In this example
https://www.utmel.com/tools/capacitor-energy-and-time-constant-calculator?id=37
Tau = 10Kohms * 470uF
That's the Greek Tau and its value in the exponential.
The B12 has a decay like that too. It doesn't all disappear
in one month, but you could be starting to get in trouble
in three months or so.
This is an example of the concentration of B12 decaying.
The paper is unfortunately, not downloading for me. Since the paper
measures B12 in several areas of the body ("colonic B12"), it's hard
to say which property this graph belongs to.

It's something like four reaction steps, for the scavenging of B12.
A crazy way to process a trace chemical when you don't
want to lose it. When your digestive system has a defect there
later in life, that's one reason you can get into B12 trouble
and become confused, or have an erratic heartbeat. If you damage yourself, it's permanent for the parts that got damaged.
